How long does the battery last?

Beats rates it at up to 40 hours of playback per charge. A short charge adds several hours when you are in a hurry.

Does it have active noise cancellation?

No. It uses passive isolation from the closed on-ear cups, so it muffles some noise but does not cancel it electronically.

Does it work with Android phones?

Yes, over standard Bluetooth with AAC. The one-touch pairing and Siri features are tied to Apple devices.

Can I use it with a cable?

Yes. A detachable 3.5 mm cable is included, so you can listen wired when the battery is empty or on flights.

Is it good for workouts?

No. It is not water resistant and the on-ear fit can slip and heat up during exercise.

Our take on the Beats by Dr. Dre Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones

The Beats Solo3 Wireless is an on-ear Bluetooth headphone built around Apple's W1 chip, which gives one-touch pairing and fast switching across Apple devices plus Siri access. Battery life is the headline: up to 40 hours per charge, far longer than most on-ear rivals, and a quick charge gives hours of playback. It is closed-back with passive isolation only, so it blocks some noise but has no active cancellation. Reviewers like the punchy bass, sturdy foldable build and long battery; the common complaints are clamping pressure on the ears and a sound that favors bass over balance.
